Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The manga ran for 16 years (2001-2017) with 35 volumes; the anime crams roughly 14 volumes into 24 episodes and still doesn't finish. Reader, we were robbed.
Yumi Tamura's original manga was groundbreaking for shōjo sci-fi—complex worldbuilding, morally gray characters, and zero romance as survival priority. The anime softens some edges but keeps the brutality.
